Abstract displays

Increasing the number of displays and servers does not mean to add up calibration complexity. In order to keep everything done from the master we created a tool to virtualize a networked media server structure. This is called “abstract displays”.

Abstract displays virtualize any number of servers and projectors so calibration works like from a single computer

After that, all subsequent steps behave like on a single client environment.

Loading *.vwf files in Pixera

Depending your system configuration, the way to load .vwf exported files will be different.

Multiple clients with dedicated master (no outputs)

You have multiple clients, and your master server does not playback video: exporting your compound will generate 1 .vwf file per client with name + Client IP.

You must then use the exact same path on Master and clients to store your calibrations (in the following exemple C:\Calibrations). Each Client need only his .vwf file and the master must have all .vwf files as shown here:

In Pixera, select your screen and load all .vwf files from the master at the same time using multi-select.

Here is an exemple of how your .vwf files setup looks like on your network :

Multiple clients with master also playing video

You have multiple clients, and your master server does playback video: exporting your compound will generate 1 .vwf file per client with name + Client IP and 1 with only original name on master.

You must then use the exact same path on Master and clients to store your calibrations. In addition, you need to store on master it’s own .vwf file + dummy version of the clients .vwf files:

A “Dummy calibration” is an arbitrary file (e.g. an empty text file), that needs to be renamed exactly like a “real” *.VWF file (including the file extension). Upon renaming Windows might display a warning: ignore this warning and proceed (it’s a good indicator that you are doing the right job).

In Pixera, select your screen and load all .vwf files from the master at the same time (Master vwf+dummies) :
